Khandvi ~ Gujarati Farzan

Khandvi is a popular tea time snack of Gujarat. It is made using besan / chickpea flour and sour curd. To give flavor to khandvi, it is tempered with mustard, sesame, hing, green chilly, curry leaves and garnished with coconut and coriander leaves.

Making khandvi is not an easy job and requires lots of patience and attention. One of the tricky part of making khandvi is cooking the batter to the right consistency. The batter should be lump free and smooth. Second thing is to spread the batter as quickly as possible into thin layer. The batter becomes thicker as its cools down, so it will become difficult to spread. And lastly, roll out the delicate layers gently else they will crumble.

Had it been not for this month's SNC challenge, I may not have tried this delicious snack. Many of you must be aware of the popular and interesting event - South Vs North Challenge - brainchild of Divya Pramil of You Too Can Cook. Every month, a Southern and Northern team member challenge each other teams with a recipe from their region. For the month of April, Hetal of Gujarati Zaika has challenged the Southern Team with this delicious Gujarati Farzan - Khandvi.
